So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I’ve only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I’m expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

    Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

    Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.
